Dear Constable Bowwow,I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for opening my eyes yesterday to my criminal activity these past three years. I was sickened and ashamed to learn that I have been an active participant in - even if I had absolutely no clue - a massive crime spree throughout B.C.
When you drove past me yesterday and made direct eye contact, I thought we had made a real human connection. Luckily, for the safety of our community, you were on the look out for criminals and our direct eye contact was not clear enough for you. Putting on your lights and sirens while pulling a U-turn at a four way intersection and chasing me down shows me (and many others) the dedication you have to stopping crime.
Hearing that you weren't "too sure" about my criminal windows and the commitment you showed to finding out (not actually being able to tell by looking through the glass but having to hunt for the telltale line of tinting film) makes me appreciate the tax dollars I contribute to pay your salary. When I told you that I wasn't aware of any violation of the Motor Vehicle Act by a car I purchased directly from a reputable dealer, I really appreciated hearing that you stop and catch violators (what a fun term to use for unsuspecting law abiding community members) like myself every day. Stopping crime and educating criminals is such noble work and I am sure your mother is proud of the effort you make every day - by catching criminals like me - to make our world a safer place to raise our children.
In fact, knowing that officers like you are working hard to stop these heinous crimes allowed me to feel so safe in my community last night, I slept with my door unlocked.
Having been committing this crime for three years and having come into contact with many, many police officers through such frivolous things as safety belt checks and road blocks, makes me question their commitment to keeping our streets safe from real criminals like me. How can they call themselves safety officers if they knowingly turned a blind eye to someone committing such a heinous act? Shame on them.
As Kash Heed looks to be leaving politics, it seems we are in desperate need of another safety officer moving into politics for the "betterment" of our provincial community. Think about it. We need dedicated people exactly like you in Victoria - in fact, you will find many like-minded thinkers there already.
Looking forward to thanking you in person during that pesky appeal process.
